Anyone that has done any serious research into Shaolin knows that there is a lot more to it than acrobatic west end shows. It's the most celebrated and knowledgable institution on traditional combat on Earth, having absorbed nearly everysingle style that the monks ever came across over its massive history.

Dalsingh enquired a while back about Shaolin, there is a very talented Afghan who lives in the East End who has won numerous competitions and has some of the most awesome kicks around, but I dounbt many here would want to study with a Muslim...

There is the official UK representative of Shaolin based in London, this guys is absolutley a fighting machine, he has studied many Shaolin Systems (there are over 300) and has mastered Iron Fist and Iron Jacket, details here:
